Maybe fear is a strong word to use but recently, I feel less enthusiastic in rising up and getting to work. Don't get me wrong. I am happy that I have a job, but maybe I kind of need some motivation to keep on going.

Maybe I need an inspiration to earn. Last time I was motivated to find a job because I wanted to own my own PC. Now that I have one, I am still on the verge of looking for another thing to save up and buy. (I sound like a kid but yeah, the reason I wanna earn is to be able to buy stuff I can't afford when I was unemployed and broke. LOL)

Speaking of my PC, yeah I already own a gaming PC and it's AWESOME~

Yeah so I kind of need to learn how to maintain, clean it and all. I hope I can handle such a delicate machine. LOL

Anyway, I kind of made a list of the things that I wanna buy/eat - and hopefully this can motivate me to wake up and work hard everyday.

Maybe I can splurge even a little on gadgets. I am so happy that I was able to get a tablet. I now have an ebook reader and a bigger screen to watch my favorite TV shows like 'Running Man'. Can't get enough of that funny group!

I have recently bought these to replace my empty bottles of scrub and astringent. I use these after taking a bath in the morning and after washing up in the evening.

What I love about Garnier is that it's not as harsh as other facial scrub and astringent yet it works just as the same. I love the fact that one of it's main ingredient is to whiten and tone your face.

I would like to hear from you! What is your daily skin care product? How often do you use them?

And the event post is here. It's a wee bit late but still, let me present to you..

Anime Fiesta ADZU 2014

Ateneo de Zamboanga is slowly recognizing our small cosplay community and their annual cosplay event proves this so. It started with a cosplay event for a casue and now this anime event which happened during their popular Alumni Homecoming week.

The event was specially documented by a local tv show named VezTV, powered by the ever active SkyCable channel

I have a few seconds of exposure on this video. I tried my best to act like Soah but I was having so much fun that time!

Anyway, Anime Fiest AdZU of AFA 2014 was a cosplay contest open to all cosplayers. I joined in because I wanted to cosplay Soah, one of my long time cosplay plan.

It was difficult to construct a cosplay skit for the character since it does not have an anime series (where I can get an idea on how to portray her), so I opted to find some ideas from other Soah cosplayers in YouTube.

I watched a few traditional Chinese and Japanese dances and incorporated a pleasant, somewhat traditional background music.

Too bad I was not able to ask a friend to take a video of my performance. Nevertheless, my friend took a couple of photos of my skit and bits of it was shown in the video above.

I walked around showing my outfit and doing a few poses. I was really nervous back then... my hands were shaking!

Well, I made it through the skit thanks to my friends who believed in me and cheered on! The audience were cheering for me too! I can't believe they liked my cosplay! ^_^

After my cosplay skit ramp, people asked for photos of me. I wasn't really expecting this since I dressed up as an unfamiliar character.

My guess that time was maybe they got attracted to my red brocade costume. It kind of different from the other cosplayers that day.

And lastly, the closing of the program with the winners announced and freebies given away:

To all those who cheered on while I was doing my performance, thank you so much for the support! Your kind words and compliments will be my motivation to do even better next time.

I definitely need to improve my Soah makeup next time and maybe mind my flowing gown while I am walking around. I don't want it to be ruined because of my carelessness.

I wish I will have another chance to cosplay Soah again! Maybe I'll find time for a cosplay shoot, preferably on a river and I hope with a Mui cosplayer!
